Incompleteness. It sounds so negative. It's essentially my entire work in oil on canvas. I 'finished' one painting, then decided I wasn't happy with it and painted over it. This unfinished bicycle race painting sits in a Rubbermaid box in my storage. It will likely never be finished. I think I returned to the camera…Read more ronde van vlaanderen
Sunflowers
Yet another unfinished painting (YAUP). This one went south on me, and I abandoned it, circa 2004. It wasn't due to lack of interest in finishing it.

3T Exploro First Ride Impressions
For most of 2018 I have been on an N+1 campaign, adding time trial bike, a full suspension mountain bike and a new road bike to my line up. That was N+3, or N+4 if you count my girlfriend's Focus Kao. But as the summer progressed, I started thinking about what my plans are for…Read more 3T Exploro First Ride Impressions
Unfinished Nude
1998... taking a crack at oils, I launch straight into the nude genre. No idea why, really. I guess it seemed more 'artsy'. I played around with older techniques of layering semi transparent oils over previous light layers. The result is some interesting depth, not fully captured in the photograph of the painting. This painting…Read more Unfinished Nude
